When it comes to selecting botanicals, we at call upon a vast nutritional knowledge and expertise to deliver products that offer the very in best in health benefiting results. We believe it is our detailed understanding of every aspect of the botanical that sets us apart from the rest. However, it is the botanical stimuli i.e. polyphenols that if we’re pushed, excites us the most. Take the beautiful vibrant red of the lingonberry. The colour pigment in this indigenous Nordic berry is there because of its extremely rich polyphenol profile. Typically in the Nordics, our diet is interspersed with wild, even foraged fruit and vegetables, and it is these polyphenol-rich botanicals, for example the lingonberry, chaga mushroom and sea buckthorn that contributes to our mental and physical vitality.

In the botanical world, polyphenols (a type of phytonutrient), is a compound that the plant uses to protect itself from environmental harm. Polyphenols are substances that when consumed, the body processes them separately from the other nutrients. Polyphenols cause a systemic reaction within us which prompts our cells to produce highly-efficient antioxidant molecules (alongside other protective molecules) to process what the body sees as a contaminant. It is this antioxidant process that provides us with so many health benefitting results. This is why, when it comes to nutritional health, polyphenols play such an important role in our physiological maintenance and wellbeing.
